Post of hunting (and kid-ness)

[notallworthy]

Tom thought again. "We could probably find rabbits in the woods." He shifted the gun on his back. "Come along, Richard, we might find something even better to hunt." Without another moment's thought, he grabbed the smaller boy's hand and began pulling him along.

Typist: Mainly for Richard but presumably anyone could come across them.

Speaking of kid-ness, they may find, just off the path, a small, wolfly puppy, perhaps with just a hint of human around the front paws, worrying at a stick that is entirely too large for her.

Typist: Are you sure you want her there? Tom's liable to shoot.

"Better?" He comes along, a half running to keep up.

[notallworthy]

"Oh, yes. Deer or foxes or wolves or bears or dragons or robbers."

[jarndyceheir]

His eyes get large and round. "...dragons?"

[notallworthy]

Tom shrugs. "Possibly."

Typist here!

Hey, I was just curious what painting you got your kid!Tom icon from. It looks familiar but I can't remember what it is. :) Thanks!

Umm... Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun's portrait of her brother, I think. It's a bit after Tom's time and I hate always changing his kid icon but it's so hard to find a boy in a cocked hat.
